can't even count on the birds staying down, and now a admission that they haven't even explored all the world.

No hope for the screaming dodo?

No hope for the screaming dodo?

You beat me to it! I was gonna say he started a soon to be extinct TV network just this month.

This one really is a goner...like the one pictured in the post above..LOL

[dila813]

what if the original info exists in the defense department ah???

This is going to be sweet.

They have a approximate date and a unit. With this information it is possible to pull all their unit reports. They couldn't shred these.

[dila813]

one problem with this, what if this unit was in the world trade building. I may have to eat my words

Bump for the Ivory Billed Woodpecker.

great short sc-fi story about the last dodo's dying in Rural south in the 1930's. It was called "Stupid Turkeys" I believe. Guy goes to track the story and is finally shown a photo of a 1930's family BBQ celebration. Center piece on the outdoor tables.....Two large roasted DoDo's. LOL

The story did mention more than once that they did not taste anywhere near as good as turkeys, but that is what the called them....Dumb Turkeys. Only the fact that the family had been raising them for generations and their size made them noteworthy to the owners. Plus they were pretty easy to herd around
